Nah just kidding. Tiesto is quite possibly the best DJ ever, out of Europe.

Where as on the other hand, I've seen some of the best turntablist dj's, such as Craze, the Executioners, Marko and others, who can do some really sick snit with a pair of turntables, and hear them make little mixing mistakes all the time.
Now I will grant that mixing a flawless trance set, really isn't that difficult as long as you can beat match, and since they have digital tables and mixers now that can pretty much beat match everything for you, life for the trance DJ just gets easier. Though with Tiesto, BT and PVD, they do produce a lot of their own music.
I hate to sound as though I'm slagging on these guys, because I really am not trying to, but in my own experience mixing a consistant House or DnB set is definitely tougher than mixing Trance, and Breaks fall somewhere in between.
Then again, I've never stood directly behind any of these bigtime trance DJ's during their set, maybe they are doing some serious *** magic back there. The big difference that I've noticed is that you can tell visually and aurally when a turntablist is doing their job, some of these other guys, you can't tell jack what they're doing or that they're actually doing anything at all.

I could really gie a crap about Moby, but Digweed's always worth a see, and Junkie XL just kicks ***. I can't find a complete lineup though. It doesn't look to be anywhere near as big as the Ultra fests in Miami, and it says it's only running until 10PM. 10PM? that can't be right?
All the east coats peeps here, Tiesto is awesome, havent been to his shows yet. But monster massive is coming up this year, paul van dyk and armin van burren!!! if ur in so cal, come to monstermassive... ***** is everywhere
